Accepting 2016-2017 SYBAC Applications
Iowa Communications Network (ICN) is accepting student applications for its Statewide Youth Broadband Advisory Council (SYBAC) for the 2016-2017 school year. The SYBAC will be made up of eleven (11) young leaders from across Iowa.
Students will identify effective strategies to improve broadband connectivity and community environments. This year SYBAC students have discussed a range of topics including free public Wi-Fi, the new Amazon ECHO product, driverless cars, lack of strong reliable broadband in some Iowa schools, and LiFi (Light Fidelity).
Students enrolled in 10th - 12th grades in Iowa during the 2016-2017 school year may apply for membership. Meetings will take place monthly, beginning in September 2016 through May 2017, via video conference, teleconference, and/or in-person. Council members also will communicate via e-mail.
Application period has been extended until May 9! Students interested should visit ICN's website at https://icn.iowa.gov/
